Hi, generally there are two options:
1) Turn off in Template configuration
OR
2) Add
Code: Select all
div#gkSocialAPI {display:none;}
to template.css

Are you talking about Joomla 3.o or 2.5 version of template? ok, try this solution

FOR K2 Items

1) Edit your K2 category -> Parametrs (on the right side) -> Item view options -> 'Social button' like ShareThis, AddThis etc. [Hide]
2) SAVE & CLOSE button


OR
For Article Items

Template Manager: Edit Style --> Choose Tab: SOCIAL API -> Turn OFF all social buttons ...SAVE & CLOSE button

Hello,

I'm using "Game News" template for J3.
I want to hide social api from one article, So i flowed you steps:

Go to
- Template Manager.
- Game News
- Option
- Social API
- I added the article ID in this field "Excluded articles" (Dosen't works)
- Tried to "Excluded categories" (Dosen't works)
- Tried to disable all social buttons (Dosen't works).

What's wrong?
Thanks

I have the same, but in my case there is Tweet button without css and Pin It button and those are turned on in template settings as the other social icons. I use Bike Store with J 3.0.

Me too, the same problem with the creativity template. It worked... A few months ago but since a few days, I see the gkSocialAPI even if all is setup as OFF in the back-office. Please, help !

1) Clear CMS cache
2) But it also depends if you are using K2 items or standard articles
2) If won't help use this css to hide them all
Code: Select all
#gkSocialAPI {display:none;}


Go to Template Manager -> click on the selected GK Template Name -> then choose the Advanced settings tab --> Custom CSS code field
